Pros

It is the place to learn the the latest in customer centric web technologies and online retailing. It also pays very well.

Cons

Very intense and demanding environment. Expectations of employee dedication are very high and management does not respond well work-life balance requests. Management is very intense and has very high expectations of employees and does not respond well to mistakes. It is a low margin retailing company and the perks are very small compared to other high tech companies.

Pros

Compensation and work life balance. Location in downtown seattle is nice for commuting. Benefits package is fine for someone who is single but not great if you're married

Cons

Not much innovation or opportunity for advancement. your yearly awards are not just tied to you past year's performance but also how much you got in previous years. while this may seem fair to the company what it does is penalize people who are consistently good. If you're consistently good, you should be rewarded regardless of how much bonus/stock you got last year. what this does is de-motivate the person to not even try anymore if they did good the previous year.
